Three Budget-Friendly Wedding Favor Ideas

We’ve written about $1 dollar wedding favors before, but this time we’re basing our inspiration on good old-fashioned candy. You know, the kind you used to sneak from your grandma’s candy dish when you were a child. The best thing about this type of candy is that even though it has a timeless, well-loved flavor, it won’t break the bank, which makes it the perfect filling for your wedding favors. Especially when paired with Evermine’s packaging and personalized tags and labels with cute sayings for your guests. Scroll down for three candy-themed wedding favors we’ve put together to help inspire you on your big day:

1. Butterscotch Candy Favors

A 5-pound bag (360 ct) of butterscotch candies from oldtimecandy.com costs $19.99, so each butterscotch disc costs just over $0.05. To make our favors, we placed 6 butterscotch discs in each small organza bag ($0.25 per bag), and secured them with personalized Aurelian Wreath favor tags ($0.60 each) for a cost of $1.18 per favor!

3. Hugs and Kisses Favors

A 1-pound bag of Hershey’s Hugs and Kisses contains approx. 100 candies and costs around $6 dollars, which means each candy costs $0.06, or $0.60 for ten. Add that to the cost of the favor tags and cellophane bags, and your Hugs and Kisses favors cost only $1.58 each!

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.

Hi Evermine,
I am engaged to be married this winter and I am busy planning the details of my wedding. I was overwhelmed how much the wedding favors were costing me and I cannot forego them either. Thankfully I came across your blog at the right time and now I have borrowed your idea of getting candies as favors.
